almost entirely burned out last week, havin
saved only one bed and three chairs. Mr.. Hor
seems to be unfortunate, or the elements appea
to have conspired against him, as his house an
| its entire contents were swept away by the "bi
food" and now fire has destroyed what he, by in
defatigable industry, had gathered together i
later years. He has the sympathies of all.

The White Grounds literary association held O
most interesting session Friday night of last week
The hall was crowded with an attentive audience
and the renditons in music and literature held the
large audience until late hour. Miss Lucy
Owings, we'll known in Baltimore circles, rendered
several airs with so much skill that she was en-.
cored several times. Mr.. Lotion, of Baltimore,
acclaimed several humorous selections that were
very highly appreciated. The Misses Clara and
Florence Timanus's rendition of "The Old Arm
Chair received great praise. Miss Florence's
rendition of "I'll die Old Maid" was excellent
The "Gypsy Fortune Teller" by the Misses Lizzie
Helvick, Mollie Piel, Maggie Sauter and Clara
Mackin, was well rendered. In fact the occasion
was a very enjoyable one throughout.

lows. During the war he was with the construc-
ton corps of the army of the Potomac, but was
not an enlisted man. Whilst in the army he re-
ceived quite painful injury, from which he never
fully recovered, and which, it is thought, fastened
his death. He served as member of the Grand
Jury for Baltimore county at the December term,
1885, and was then, to all appearances very ro-
bust man.

White Hall, 7th District.-The Baltimore
Eceaing Ne,os predicted last week that spring was
about to dawn, as the backbone of winter was
broken by the thunder Storm" I think it must
have been "set" again by the snow storm of last
Saturday, which was heavy enough up here to put
a whole new backbone in place of the broken one
The weather of this winter has been enough to
that "it's poor rule that won't work both ways"
Our county roads are almost impossible. They
were bad enough before the snow fell, but worse
since.
Mr.. VIM. Wise is working away at his new store
house, which is fast nearing completion. Then,
girls, will be your chance.
Mrs. Joshua G. McComas is still very low with
consumption.
Mrs. James Wilson has been confined to her
house the greater part of the winter, but is now
much better and her many friends hope soon to
see her out again.
Mr.. Hope Kirkwood was buried at Bethel Church
last Sabbath. He had almost reached the advanced
age of 81 years. He had raised large family of
children, lived to see them all grown to man and
womanhood, and all of them buried except four.
Two of his lost their lives in defense of their
country. He had outlived all of his fathers fam
lily and was descending the hill of time almost
alone. He had long been consistent member of
Bethel Presbyterian Church and he found conso-
lation in leaning on that strong arm which was
more of comfort to him than kindred, dear as
they may have been. He was an uncle of U. S.
Marshal George II. Cairnes.
Rev. James H. Marsh preached his farewell
sermons at McKendree and Vernon last Sunday.
His congregations part with him very reluctantly,
he having been an acceptable pastor for the last
three years.
We were pleased to see by The UNION that Rev.
S. M. Afford had been pounded" Think he
richly deserved it. Would like to hear of Bro.
Lemon sharing the same fate.

body of School Commissioners were still living"
We also hope they are living and honorable"
too as our ground is waiting for the school house.

the first of April.
